Top Spring/Summer trends

Desert

Desert nudes are the perfect look for daytime, whether you're out for lunch or taking a day trip. Nudes, creams, whites and browns are all easy colours, but be imaginative. You can pair them with anything, but together they'll always look classic and effortless.

Lace

Lace has got to be my favourite trend this spring/summer. From lusting after the gorgeous Alexander McQueen and Dolce and Gabbana designer collections on the runway, to scrolling through pages of clothes online, I can't wait to find that perfect lace dress or skirt for long summer nights.

Lace is a perfect look for an elegant spring/summer wardrobe, and definitely won't go out of date.

Pastel

Pastel colours make for the perfect, girly summer look. Whether it's just a touch of pastel pink, paired with your favourite blue denim jeans, or a cotton-candy look dress, accessorised with a nude pair of wedges, you'll feel perfectly dressed for summer.

White

Crisp, white pieces are a must for the summer. White won't only keep your look cool and classic, but will go with any other colour, so mix and match brights and bolds with your favourite white top. Don't stick with plain cotton t-shirts though - textures work brilliantly with white, whether it's silk, lace or denim.

How to wear white in Winter

There is nothing more summery than a lovely white, button-up, denim skirt. The colour shows off that golden holiday glow, is light and cool to wear and most importantly, goes with everything.

So, what exactly do we do when winter comes?! Instead of banishing those white statement pieces and hiding your style in black and navy jumpers, here's 5 ways you can bring back your white wardrobe in winter:

1. Oversized jumpers

Jumpers are a huge fashion statement around winter time. Whether it's a fluffy sweater or a turtle neck jumper, an oversized white knit will always be the perfect partner for a pair of black skinny jeans.

2. Layer it up!

You can get away with anything in winter. What's an extra 3 or 4 layers to anyone when it's this cold? White jeans can still make a comeback throughout winter, just pop a pair of knee length boots over the top and team with warm shades and a statement tote!

3. On-trend with faux fur

This season, just like every year, faux-fur is massive. For me, teddy-bear coats are the perfect way to stay warm but look great.

4. Accessorise 

For a subtle way to add pops of white to your outfit, try a furry snood or knitted scarf. My favourite accessories of the moment are pom-poms; on shoes, bags, gloves and scarfs!

5. Feet first

There's nothing I enjoy more than a gorgeous pair of shoes. My favourite white pairs to wear in winter would be Adidas superstars and Nike thea's, or just a classic pair of Converse.

Jumper - Zara
Headband - M&S
